did you try using different headphones? And are you running stock or custom?
Hi I've got the same problem.
My headphones (brainwavz m1) aren't working with my phone. I'm running official firmware 15.4.A.1.9. The official sony headphones which i've got with package works without problem. I have this problem since previous update (about 10 june 2014 i think) i thought that it's software bug, and i had hope that they will fix it with next system update, but i was wrong. I restored fabric settings and it was fine for about 1 hour after that time the problem is still occurring.
Any ideas how to fix it? i'm thinking that's a system bug but i'm totaly green in this topic.
Same problem here.
Up until I was sticking with the original ROM (4.1) everything was fine and every headset worked (with/without mic, no matter the brand).
Now on 5.0 (Cyanogen) and only headsets with mic are working (again, no matter the brand).
It has to be a SW problem, but I have no idea where to start. Someone willing to investigate / explain?

Hey, I had a similar problem when first purchasing the phone. Some cables (CTIA) are not compatible therefore wont provide any sort of audio. Try to use headphones that work with the device (Sony ones will work).
Hope this helps

I was listening to music in my car today with my Sprint TP2 hooked up via the 3.5mm audio jack. When I disconnected the phone from the jack, the phone remained in 'headphone mode'. I knew it was in headphone mode still because it displays the little headphone icon on top and I could not hear any audio unless I reconnected the 3.5mm jack. So basically, I can't call anybody from my phone right now unless I hook it up to some speakers via the 3.5mm jack. That or use my BT headset.
Things I have tried to fix the phone;
- Unplugged and replugged in the 3.5mm stereo jack numerous times.*
- Soft reset
- Removed battery for 30 seconds and restarted
- Connected BlueTooth stereo headset and disconnected
* Extra weirdness; Gives me a voice commander error when I reconnect the jack. Voice Commander is not even enabled.
Nothing worked. So I just did a backup of my phone and I'm going to attempt a hard reset. We'll see if that fixes it.
Update: Right after I posted this thread, I tried plugging in several different devices with 3.5mm jacks and the headphone icon disappeared. However, I still did not have any audio. So I did a soft reset and surprise surprise... audio is back!!!
Anybody else encounter this bug? I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware bug, but it's definitely a bug.
guys, do you mean you have already have the 3.5mm specification tp2 ?
i didn't see it yet..
sounds like a hardware issue? especially if the soft reset did not resolve the issue...

Sprint and Verizon versions of TP2 have a integrated 3.5mm jack.
I just had the same problem being stuck in headset mode
I tried a soft reset with no luck so I was pretty sure it was something physically wrong. Instead of plugging my headset all the way back in and taking it out, I used the tip of the plug (like a Q-tip, 1/4 of the way in) to see if there were any sensors or metal still depressed and after a few light sweeps, the headset mode icon disappeared. Keeping my fingers crossed, I didn't use the 3.5mm jack for the rest of the night and I was able to use my headset and removed it without a problem this morning.
Ultimately this is most likely a physical issue, but I'd rather not send my phone in for a replacement (even though this would probably qualify as a manufacturer defect). Hope this helps if anyone experiences this in the future.

It is a hardware issue and is common to most 3.5mm jacks. I had also experienced this last year with my Treo Pro and since I really wanted to know the problem, I opened up my phone and voided all warranties. Inside the 3.5mm jack there's a lever type copper that bends to make contact with another copper metal, some kind of switch that's supposed to connect and disconnect the contact between these 2 metal pieces whenever a head 3.5mm plug is inserted.
What happened is when you disconnected the plug, the metal that's supposed to bend back to it's original position never did. That's why it's permanently stucked in headset mode because the phone thinks the plug is still inside. This probably happens due to age and possibly has something to do with moisture and rust, not to mention that copper is highly malleable.
Sad to say that until now this technology hasn't changed and is still being widely used. Hopefully someone will give this issue a real solution.
I had this problem recently and took a dry q tip and rubbed it back and forth across the little pin on the bottom of the headphone jack until it cleared up the problem.
Does anyone know if a USB to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter works on the CDMA tp2? I'd really like to use regular headphones but don't want to jeopardize getting my phone stuck in headphone mode.

Yes, the USB headphone adapter works on the CDMA versions. If you plug in a second headphone set to the other open port, which ever one was connected lastly will be the one to have sound.
Fixed the problem!
I had to disassemble the phone, voiding the already expired warranty and solder the contacts together on the audio jack. I can't use a 3.5 mm jack anymore, but I can at least use the phone now without always using a bluetooth. I'll get a usb adapter for when I want to listen to music.
Here is a picture of the contacts I soldered. I used a 20 w soldering iron, I wouldn't use anything larger.

i would hate to do this on my vibrant lol, media sound recently gave out on me after unplugging the headphone. this sucks. id look around for replacement parts..til then.. gotta get busy with the q tips til i get it to work.
I am facing a unique problem. After my desire upgrade to Gingerbread and then to runnymede 2.3.5, my phone speakerphone automatically gets ON after any restart. I am not able to use it as normal phone during calls since speaker and mic not available. I found one solution for that, i have to plugin external microphone jack to remove that icon/ speakerphone mode.
Any suggestion why it is happening. Is it software problem of hardware?
It's not unique, your issue may be related to Car Mode. If you have used some 3'rd party chargers, they might have damaged your phone's microUSB plug, shorting some pins and making the phone believe it's sitting in a car craddle. My GF had the exact same problem with her Desire, which i fixed by gently cleaning the phone's USB plug with a soft toothbrush.
Certainly, it can also be a software issue, thus you should try changing ROMs first and see if the problem persists.
Thank you so much "Mr. TVTV" for your early reply. and thanks for your suggestion. It works for me. I seems problem sortout by viping usb port with brush. Tried two reboots and satisfied. Thanks again
Glad i could help!
Hello, I had my s3 sitting for a while and decide to use it (haven't used it for 7-8 months). So I go on Youtube and watch a video. The speaker works fine but whenever I insert the 3.5 mm jack, I cant hear anything and if I remove it the speaker stop working.
I have tried multiple ROMS (CM13, DU 5.1, Stock 4.4.2) but they all seem to have the same issue. I also tried 3 different headphones.
What could be the issue?

it could very well be a hardware issue, did you replace the headphone jack/speaker assembly?

Since I got this phone, nothing has been replaced other than the battery.. And besides I don't think its a hardware issue since we have more than 2 to 3 people experiencing the exact same issue..

Check if speakerphone works, if it does, then it is likely that the hp jack is jammed and causing the phone to disable the speaker because it thinks headphones are plugged in.

The speaker works fines expect when you plug in the jack and remove it the speakers stop working. I have the restart the phone to get the speakers working.

Yes, it sounds like a hardware issue of the headphone jack being jammed or broken. If the issue is exactly the same on all roms, I would definitely replace the headphone jack, they are not that expensive, only $7

Why I don't think this issue might be a hardware issue is that, when ever I plug the phone to a wall socket and connect the headset jack, the sound comes on. But some few minutes after taking it off the wall socket, the sound is gone. And I have to restart the phone to get the sound working again..

if the speaker works but headphone doesn't then it may be that the phone detects some other audio device on usb. Do you hear any sounds at all through the headphones, also do the playback controls on the headphone work? If they do it may be the audio IC
Yeah, the controls on the headphone do work when this occurs.. And I don't hear any other sound..
Mind you, Immediately after inserting the jack, all the sound (speaker and headset) system in the phone is lost. Until I do a restart.
Hello guys, I have an rooted Note N7100, with custom rom installed.
My problem is when i plug the headphones the sound gets corrupted, i have changed my rom because of it but its still going on.
I recently changed N7100's mainboard including the USB port, so technically everything is new except screen. I have tried lots of things but they didnt work. I think I just broke (or damaged) headphone jack on mainboard.
Thanks.

Try another headphone if that didn't fix the sound, then you will have to change the headset jack, no other workaround.
Not everything new actually work.
i hade a problem like yours but it was bad grounding ( two boards was not connecting to each other ) tighten the screw next to the camera and press by your fingers tight next to the camera over the screw
I just received the new headphone jack and changed it with the old one but.. that didnt solved my problem.

What rom are you using??
Sometimes the rom sources are same and same problem can exist in both roms
Also have you tried cleaning your phone's headphone jack?

The problem is about the sound chip, I think.
Because;
I have changed the headphone jack, didn't solve my problem,
Changed two roms which didn't solve my problem,
Tried sound tweaks and stuff, didn't solve my problem.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP :good:
Hello,
After a year of flawless phone, suddenly the headphone jack stopped working.
When I plug headphones into headphone jack, nothing happens.
The headphones are not recognized by the device.
I tried replacing the headphones with other working pair and got the same issue.
I tried to clear cache, it did not helped.
I even tried replacing the headphone jack board by this guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ7ohau9GHA
and it also did not helped.
Any ideas what can be the problem and how I can resolve it?
Thanks.

Well you could always contact them and see what they can do right? Now you are stuck with a 'expensive' phone without an audio jack.
Same Problem here.
I solved it partially using SoundAbout App. I just switched Media to Headphones when i use headphone. Otherwise not working
